Summary: 5 stars... what else??
Review: As usual, Judith McNaught is worthy of 5 stars writing yet another awesome book! I read this in one day, truly not able to put it down once. The house could have fallen down around me and still I would have sat there with a silly grin on my face, reading away.Victoria is thrust as a suddenly orphaned beauty into the home of a distant relative with a very frightening repuation. Though afraid and homesick, she sees through his rockhard exterior to the saddened and lonely man inside and offers him a love like no other. And oh my God... no one can tell a story like JM!! These characters came alive before my eyes from page one. Victoria was amazing. In the midst of all the snobby London ladies, she appeared so sweet and refreshing and I just wanted to shout at Jason to open his eyes and trust her! And Jason was so afraid to love again... so hurt from his horrid past yet very protective of this young girl who could make him laugh, ingnite desire deep within him and even cause him to engage in a duel causing him to be shot by a tree (he he... very funny). The plot was amazing and the characters deep, complex people you could care about. Jason had thought Victoria to be a gentle, courageous, spirited angel... and he was oh so right. She was the perfect heroine and the perfect match for a man such as Jason... and though he was difficult and arrogant throughout much of the book it was plain to see the hurt and need for love inside him. Not to mention the fact that he was just plain *yummy*. Strong yet gentle leading men are definetely the best. If you haven't read this book, I recommend it highly. And then do yourself a favour and read the rest of Judith McNaught's books, starting with A Kingdom of Dreams (breathtaking). I bought her entire collection and they are reserved a permanent spot on my bookshelf.

Summary: Great book to read!
Review: I am not much of a romance novel reader but I really enjoyed Once and Always. There is a sad mystery that surrounds Jason Fielding that Victoria will uncover. Also, Jason Fielding has another side to him that is not arrogant, almost venerable that Victoria will come to love. I read Whitney, My Love after finishing Once and Always and found that I like Once and Always more. This is probably my favorite book from McNaught.

Summary: Vile
Review: It's a wonder to me that this book was even published in the "romance" genre. Jason and Victoria are at odds with each other throughout the entire book until the last chapter. How is that romantic? Jason is the most hateful, bitter vile character I have ever read about. He is essentially a rapist who exhibits little to no regard for Victoria's feelings. Even his cruel past does not validate his treatment of her.

Summary: An Emotional Reading
Review: Victoria and Jason's story is great! I know others have written and said the same but I had to add my two cents worth. You will laugh and cry and believe in the power of love. This is classic McNaught at her best and this is one of my favorites of hers. You won't be disappointed in this story. Especially if you are a romantic at heart.

Summary: This book is wonderful
Review: I loved this story. I loved the characters. They where so great. Now some parts in the story are a bit cheesey I admit. like when the uncle goes off on how wonderful and perfect she is. Gag! but, she really is a wonderful character. And I cried near the end. Not to give away any of the plot. but it was so touching. YOu can really see her with Jason and yet you are torn between him and her and Andrew and her. Well, at least i was cause, i love those childhood sweetheart thing. too bad she couldn't have them both. I wouldnt have minded if they had made this book a bit longer. And shown then falling in love better and connecting and stuff. Wonderful....So, far out of Until you, whitney my love, this is my favorite of the three

Summary: Jason Fielding is not an easy character to like...
Review: Jason Fielding is domineering and, in some instances, rather scary in his bursts of temper. He treats Victoria as though she is nothing more than a "lady of the night." I do not agree, though, that Victoria allows him to get away with it. Victoria is a very strong character and, although frightened of Jason, will tell it like it is to him. Towards the end of the book, the reader is finally able to glimpse the softer side of Jason, but it is a long time in coming. The ending is adorable, but I do wish that Jason wasn't so vile and contemptible up until that point.
Rating:
Summary: One of my favorites!
Review: I love this book! The part about Jason's childhood absolutely broke my heart! I also loved how Jason had such a hard time accepting the gift from Victoria--it was so sweet! I would definately recommend this book to anyone who loves romances as much as me!

Summary: Best romance I ever read
Review: This by far my favorite romance novel. I have read it multiple times and still enjoy it just as much each time. I love Judith McNaught's writing and this is her best. I envy those who haven't read it because they get to experience anew when they do.

Summary: My All-Time Favorite...
Review: This was my first JM book and none of her other (nor any other Historical Romance/Modern Romance authors) novels have lived up to it. That's how great I think the book is. I've read it over and over again, I'm pretty sure I'll wear it out in another year or so and I'll have to but another one. I hate those "Perfect Romance" novels, where everyone always has a perfect life and when they eventually get together it just becomes "perfecter". This is truly touching, chokes a laugh out of you at one chapter and a sob at another. It is a must.

Summary: A Piece of Perfection
Review: With just the introduction of Jason Fielding and Victoria Seaton, I automatically fell in love with this novel. Judith McNaught has created a magnificent work of art that is "clearly destined for greatness." I consider this novel to be the closet thing to perfection. I was not surprised that I found myself laughing and crying along with the characters. Ms. McNaught has once again been able to draw her readers into a dream. This is truly one of her best piece of writings yet! Theses characters have managed to spark every emotion inside me through their tender gestures. The love between Jason and Victoria has the ability to enchant readers everywhere. I highly recommend this novel but only if you are willing to witness a piece of perfection!
